If you didn't learn it from American Beauty, you must have picked it up from countless schadenfreude guffaw-inducing conservative-politicos-caught-boning-dudes scandals: there's nothing gayer than hating gay people. And if public depantsing of homophobic hypocrisy is your thing, then get excited: according to a particularly adept Washington gay-sleuth, at least 3 conservative Republican Congressmen are super duper gay, and one is about to be outed.

The blogger said he currently knows of three "anti-gay" members of the U.S. House of Representatives who are themselves gay. Rogers refused to say when he might disclose information on these members or what might provoke such a revelation, maintaining that as a journalist he holds some cards close to the vest.

But Rogers said he's about to get his hands on concrete evidence that one "anti-gay" member of the House of Representatives engages in gay sex. "Oh, it's going to happen because it has been happening for a long time," he said.

Rogers isn't exactly the most universally loved dude in the world, and calling him a "blogger" is a stretch, as he hasn't updated his blog since August of 2012. And, since coming out of the closet is a huge deal for members of the LGBTQ community, some would argue that anyone forcibly outing anyone for any reason is wrong. And I tend to agree with that sentiment, except in the case of public figures who have made a career of limiting the rights of gay people. That's when all bets are off.

This is the public's business for the same reason that an anti-abortion politician having an abortion (or being complicit in a partner's abortion) is the public's business — it exposes the extent to which government officials see themselves as exceptions to their own moral impositions. If, say, Marsha Blackburn wants to nestle her ideology into my cervix, then I have a right to know what she's doing with hers. If [Soon to be outed homophobe] wants to govern people's bedrooms, he should at least let us peek inside his.
